I noticed that there is no incremental update. Do you have any idea if it is just a bit late, or what. 1.5.0.1 User Agent reported to be 1.5, if the entire installer was downloaded, but it showed that it was 1.5.0.1 if the incremental was selected. I will wait around a while.

I was prompted for an update a few minutes ago. It's nice to see that the process is so streamlined, contrasted with the routine downloading/uninstalling/installing procedure from a couple years ago. (Also, you can disable automatic updates if you don't want them!)

I noticed that even though "About Mozilla Firefox" gives the correct Version:

[tt]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2[/tt]

The Page Title still shows:

[tt]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1[/tt]

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

Sorry for the delay when informing this.

And, the Add/Remove indicates Mozilla Firefox 1.5. By the way the old 1.5.0.1 had a much larger size as the new 1.5, aka 1.5.0.2. Anyway, i uninstalled the other guy, which I had not used since 1.5.0.2. I guess that's the best explanation.
